Review: LA RONDINE at Winter Opera
Winter Opera has presented a truly gorgeous production of Puccini's La Rondine (The Swallow). Puccini is the supreme master of romantic melody, and in Rondine he outdoes himself. I love this opera, my heart having been beguiled early by One lilting, gently syncopated romantic waltz refrain that recurs again and again like the memory of a distant sweet infatuation.
